WEST VIRGINIA'S NEW SENA-
TOR

tFrom the Boston Globe, March 10, 1851
Daniel b. Lucas, the newly APP
pointed Senator from West Virginia,
was horn in jefferson county. then a
portion of Virginia, in 1885, and
ranks among the ablest lawyers in the
State. He graduated from the Uni=
vcrsity Of Virginia some twenty years
later, being the class poet in his grad
uating year, and subsequently, read
law under the late Judge BrocIien-
brough at Lexington. After his au-
mission he practiced his profession in
Charlcstown and Richmond, marry
ing in the latter place a daughter of
Henry l.. Brooke, one of the leaders
of the Richmond bar, in t864. He
has always been prohiihtht in the
councils of his party, where his name
has become synohymous with the
growing opposition to corporation
power. For ten years lie has been
the bittcrest political opponent of the
Standard Oil Company in his State,
Spdz three times when he was the
choice for his district for Congress
the railroad and Standard Oil Com
pany's influences are said to have Sc
rtrtd his defeat. He was Ii Presi-
dental clector from West Virginia in
the Greedy, T'ilden and Cleveland
campaigns, and is one of the most fin
ished orators in the South. In 1880
Governor Mathews appointed him
Judge of the thirteenth Judicial Cir
cult Court, but the appointment was
declined. The University of West
. Virginia in 1888 conferred upon him

Monopolics and free railroad passes
are Mr.. Lucas particular adherence.
He fights them tooth. nail and tongue.
For ten years Mr.. Lucas has been
the bitterest opponent of the Standard
Oil Company's influence in West Vir-
ginia. He introduced the bill in the
West Virginia Legislature prohibiting
the use of free passes on railroads.
Three times he was the choice of his
district for Congress, but the railroad
and Standard Oil Company influence
secured his defeat.
Governor Wilson, who appointed
Mr.. Lucas. owes his present position
largely to him. Two years ago Mr..
Lucas and Senator Kenna met as rival
leaders in the West Virginia Convcn-
ton to nominate a governor. Sem
ator Kenna favored E. Boyd Faulk-
ner, or some one not an anti-monop-
olist--or Anti-Standard Oil man.
kenna made a powerful speech. Lu-
cas- answered with more overwhelm-
ing one, in which lie seconded the
nomination Of Z. Willis Wilson for
governor. who was nominated and
elected. In the last Legislature Mr..
Lucas nominated Governor Wilson
for senator. In one of his speeches
he said: While others have been
preaching Democracy as an organiza-
ton without convictions, we have
been endeavoring to breathe into it
the vitality of,correct principles. that
it might become the embodiment of
that political faith which its great
founder, Thomas Jefferson. taught as
the only true foundation of American
liberty"

Bulgarians must be far and away the
bravest people in the world, il they have
earned aquarter of the decorations which
have been distributed amongst their
army of late years in such lavish profu-
sion. No fewer than "a, 900 silver medals
were dispatched to Sofia from Vienna q
few months ago, and within the last fort
night an additional order for $4,000 has
been received, which the Austrian mint
is now engaged in manufacturing. A
foundry near Buda-P estli has also deliv-

AN OLD FASHIONED GIRL.

The ancient ffills and furbelows,
The faded ribbona and the bows.
Why she should show those shrunken charms,
That wrinklcd neck, those thwny arms.

Round her spare form hangs loosely down;
Her voice Is thin and cracked; her eye
And smile have lost their witchery.
BY those faint jssts, that tagging wit,
By each attenuated curl,
She surely Ia, must admit,
An odd, old fashioned girl.
Wis long, long since she had beau,
And now with those who sit arrow
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something Of the old time grace.
She yearns TO Join the may waltz,
Aud slyly shifts her smelling salts.
All. many an angel In disguise
May walk before our human eyesi
Wherever the fever smitten lie
In grimy hannts OF poverty,
Along the dark and squalid street,
Mid drunken jests of boor and churi,
She goes with swift and plying feet
This same old fashioned girl
